The American Brahms Society is seeking applications for its Karl Geiringer Scholarship in Brahms Studies, from students in the final stages of preparing a doctoral dissertation written in English. Work relating to Brahms should form a significant component of the dissertation, but it need not be the exclusive or even primary focus. The society gives equal consideration to research in historical musicology, analysis, performance practice, cultural history, and other related disciplines. The Scholarship includes a cash prize ($3,000) and an invitation to work with the editors of the ABS Newsletter to craft a submission for that publication.
Completed applications will consist of a cover letter, including the applicant’s physical address, phone number, email address, and institutional affiliation; and a description of the project of no more than 500 words. Two confidential letters, including one from the dissertation advisor, should be submitted separately.
All materials should be submitted electronically as pdf files to Marie Sumner Lott at msumnerlott@gsu.edu.
The deadline for submission of materials is 31 March 2025. Finalists will be invited to submit a sample chapter. Recipients will be notified in the fall.
